Presentation

Throughout history, human beings have used a large number of natural resources to heal, balance and restore the health of people and even animals.

Naturopathy encompasses therapeutic practices with the aim of preserving health, preventing and treating disease or imbalance, whether physical, emotional and / or energetic.

Naturopathy with a holistic view of the human being, is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a health area that works on the prevention, treatment and promotion of optimal health through the use of therapeutic methods to promote the act-healing process (vix medicatrix naturae).

The WHO recommends to the member states principles of Naturopathy:

  • First, do no harm (primun non nocere)

  • Act in cooperation with the healing power of alt = "nature

All the partners and teachers participate in their training (sharing doubts, ideas and clarifications), and a feedback effect is produced by both parties.
  • It is more flexible because there are no schedules or limited time. The student chooses when he wants to study and for how long. This allows adapting the course to each specific need.
  • The faculty of the Campus remains active from the month of September until the month of July. During the month of August the student continues to have access to the Campus to review lessons or catch up on the issues that are delayed.

Thus, from the beginning of the course to the end of the course, it will be evaluated through different processes: exercises, tests, exams, work, participation in forums, etc. and the sum of all these tests, will result in the final grade of course. The student's results are studied by an academic committee for later validation.
